Paperclip-Themed Luxe Jewelry

Virgil Abloh Joins Jacob & Co to Launch the Office Supplies Jewelry

Virgil Abloh works in collaboration with Jacob & Co on the new Office Supplies jewelry collection full of bracelet and earring silhouettes. The capsule is made to order and takes the traditional shape of a paperclip repurposed into luxury purposes.

The jewelry is crafted from 18k yellow, white, and rose gold, with aesthetics that reference grade-school DIY influences by connecting paperclips together. Abloh explains the capsule on Instagram, stating that it "is a concept for fine jewelry I developed and have been sitting on for a while now…It’s all cryptic & metaphoric but that’s as much of the concept as the adolescent idea of making a paperclip bracelet in grade school meets the blinding aspirational quality of a Rocafella chain. It’s my whole art practice in one object.”
